Chapter 743 Captain's Foresight

Time seemed to stand still, and Falcao's roar echoed in everyone's ears.

After Falcao sat down, Jardim looked at Li Liang and nodded.

Li Liang said: "I know, this should be the third last match we have together?!"

This low-pitched and flat voice was like thunder, and it aroused a stronger shock in the locker room than Falcao's roar just now!

Even Jardim's eyes widened, the assistants, team doctor, and the team were all stunned!
Li Liang stood up and his tone was still calm, but like an invisible force, he spoke every word to everyone's heart: "To be precise, there are still two and a half games left.

As well as half time here, 90 minutes at Rennes, Cardiff - who knows?
Maybe like Radamel said, we can't last 90 minutes, maybe another ending, 120 minutes, even with a penalty shootout——

I have imagined all these. "

He looked around, and his teammates were much calmer, at least for a while, they got rid of the extremely bad mentality of the first half.

Li Liang's voice became louder: "I haven't thought about it, will some of us wear the same jersey when we meet again next season?
Will there be no chance to fight together like today in the rest of my career? "

The atmosphere is undergoing subtle changes, and Caldeira found that light and focus are gradually returning to the eyes of the players.

Li Liang paused and continued: "Okay, let's go back to the game.

St Etienne are strong - we should be more grateful to them because they are helping us to be stronger and clearer before going to Cardiff.

Because today we are stronger than them, and they have paid too much to limit us——

So I think it will be difficult for them to maintain the quality of the first half in the second half!

So we can definitely beat them! "

Everyone is staring intently and listening to their captain.

Li Liang turned to Yardim: "Sorry Leonardo, I said a little too much."

Jardim stared at Li Liang, and slowly raised his hands to applaud. Soon, Caldeira also started applauding, and the rest of the assistant coaches, team doctors, and the team all started applauding!
Immediately afterwards, applause began to quickly spread among the players instead of tension.

Jardim waved everyone to stop: "What else can I say?

Everything I want to say, our captain has already said it for me!

Go guys, let them remember what the real Monaco is like! "

After speaking, he greeted everyone to proceed directly to the ceremony——

"Monaco! Forward!"

This time the roar in the locker room was deafening.

Looking at the backs of the team members filing out, Caldeira asked nervously: "Leonardo, is this really okay?

Continue to the second half without setting up anything? "

Yardim replied firmly: "We have a great captain, he will lead everyone to find their way again!"

In the player tunnel, Li Liang, who was at the front, met the opponents who came out of the visiting team's locker room first.

He reached out his hands to both Palin and Rufael who were walking in the front: "Please show your best form!"

The generals of the green army were stunned, and Li Liang said immediately: "The warm-up is over, we are going to start the real competition!"

After speaking, he took the first big step and rushed out of the player channel.

Tang Meng and Lu Yue basically agreed at halftime.

Tang Meng said to the technical statistics on the screen: "This really echoes the old saying - 'haste makes waste'!
From the statistical point of view, if the names of the two teams are covered, it is difficult for you to see who is at home!

Monaco's performance was completely out of order, and Li Liang's performance was barely passable compared to usual. "

Lu Yue nodded in agreement: "Of course, the unbalanced mentality of the teammates also has a great impact on Li Liang.

As the saying goes, 'a good man needs three helpers', when other Monaco players start to get impatient, even if Li Liang calms down, it's useless.

This is exactly the characteristic of this young Monaco team. When they are in a state of being, they are full of passion and are not afraid of any opponent. However, in a situation like today, there is no way to beat Saint-Etienne at home. !

Anyway, if you face Real Madrid in this state, it must be a gift! "

On the screen, players from both sides have already appeared on the field.

In the second half, when the away team kicked off, Li Liang clapped his hands vigorously outside the circle and shouted to his teammates: "Focus!
We need to be more focused! "

Li Liang himself is becoming more focused.

As the referee whistled, the Green Army began to pass patiently.

Li Liang had made himself forget about the first half and the provocations of Palin and Rufael.

Forget Falcao's missed penalty.

Forget all the rumors, true and false, surrounding his summer transfer.

I forgot what I just said, this is the last, penultimate match of everyone together!

Lu Yue took a few glances and immediately exclaimed: "Good guy, what kind of magic did Yardim cast in the locker room?!"

The reaction on the scene was more intense than his, because everyone saw that Monaco's three lines were pressing at the same time. Li Liang, Mbappe, Lemar and Silva on the two wings were frantically pressing the opposing midfielder Lemoine who was holding the ball!
Grimandi also shouted: "What the hell happened in the dressing room?"

Because he saw the familiar Monaco again!
Lemoine couldn't find a forward pass angle at all, seeing that the situation was not good, he directly passed back to Palin behind him.

Li Liang rushed towards the captain of the green army without hesitation, facing Palin's big foot to clear the siege, he shoveled directly to the ground!

With a muffled sound of "bang", the ball flew high, and Palin spun around in the air and fell onto the turf!

The referee hesitated for a moment and waved his hand to signal the game to continue!Li Liang had already stood up and rushed a few steps to the ball in front of the penalty area, with his arms outstretched and his back firmly blocked Catlin who was trying to clear the siege.

Amidst the long-lost cheers from the audience, Li Liang, who was in a favorable position, leaped high into the air and shook his head, giving the ball to Lemar who was on the sidelines——

Lemar directly adjusted his pace to catch up with the ball and volleyed vigorously with his left foot!

Rufael had already attacked, and the ball was subconsciously blocked by him, and then quickly touched the far post and flew out of the bottom line!
After a huge sigh, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and the roar of "Monaco! Go!" rang out from the stands again!

The Green Army coach Galtier was shocked, and immediately rushed to the command area and whistled loudly to signal the on-the-spot command.

Jardim stretched out his hand to the side: "How is it?!"

With a "snap", Caldeira clapped his hands loudly: "Well done!"

Rufael and Palin, who got up, rushed to the referee to protest Li Liang's tackle just now. The referee told them firmly: "Number 17's feet didn't leave the ground, and he didn't make a move to shine the spikes, and he tackled the ball first!"

The playback on the big screen showed that there was no problem with the referee's penalty.

Grimandi was a little excited: "Remy, I have the impression that Lee rarely makes such moves in offense?"

Gard nodded vigorously: "That's right!
Rocky (Palin) is in trouble now! "

The cheers of the audience lasted for a long time, and the captain's tough performance made the fans full of confidence again!

In the 49th minute, Monaco stole the ball again in the frontcourt. Silva wobbled and then made a cross. The forward Mbappe made a return with his heel at the top of the arc. Li Liang rushed to the ball with his right foot and shot!

After a loud noise, facing the incoming ball, Rufael didn't dare to neglect and didn't choose to catch the ball, but directly hit the ball with both fists!

Palin's barb made a rescue, and the audience exclaimed.

Rufael fell to the ground and raised his hand after finishing the save. The referee suspended the game and boos were loudly booed in the stands.

Perrin stepped forward and asked quietly: "Are you okay?" Rufael who sat up untied his gloves: "Rocky, I'm afraid I'm really in trouble!"

The team doctor began to enter the field to deal with it. In the close-up on the big screen, Rufael's expression was very painful.

Galtier was extremely nervous. Fortunately, after treatment, Rufael put on the gloves again and signaled that he could continue the game.

The players of the Green Army looked at each other in blank dismay. Li Liang's shot just now was nearly 25 meters away from the goal. It was so powerful that goalkeeper Rufell was almost reimbursed for this game!

Li Liang stared at Palin from the side. The moment the captain of the green army cleared the siege just now, he saw that Palin's overall rating had returned to 85.

This means that my judgment is completely correct. After the high-intensity and continuous fighting in the first half, Saint-Etienne has ushered in the trough of physical fitness ahead of schedule.

The tough guy Palin's "jumping" has also come to an end. In order to limit Li Liang in the first half, the captain of the Green Army paid a huge price.
